PACKED WITH BODIES.
Searching for BODIES at Exeter-Over $50
Persons Killed.

LONDON, Sept. s.
The victims of the burning Theatre Royal
at Exeter, England, were mostly working
people.
The stairway leading to the gallery was
found literally packed with bodies, while at
the head of the stairs were scores of others
piled on top of each other.
There were pitiable scenes in the vicinity
of the burned theatre this morning, as friends
and relatives of supposed victims awaited the
recovery of the bodies. In many cases faith
ers and mothers both perished and numerous
children were left without means of support
Several bodies were burned so that only
small cinders remained. The number of
persons severely injured is sixty. 1t is feared
that the death list will reach over $50. 1t has
been ascertained that there were 200 persons
occupying seats in the gallery. OF these over
hundred lost their lives.
The search for bodies still goes on. 1t is
probable that the total number of deaths will
never be ascertained. The fire was con-
trolled early this morning.
1t was ascertained that in the rush last
night the ticket box was upset at the gallery
exit and this was the cause of the block
there. The remains of nearly fifty persons
were found there. Most of the bodies were
completely reduced to ashes.
In replying to questions in Commons today
Matthews, home secretary, said no official
survey of the Theatre Royal had been made
BY the home Office. The Office had no au-
thority to survey theatres in provinces.

Fatal.

TEMPLE. Sept. 6.
A. w. Farmer, prominent citizen Of TEN

and very badly if not fatally hurt.
The horse stumbled and fell throwing him
in such way that he became entangled in
the harness and gig and was in reach of the
horses feet and was kicked many times by
the struggling animal Mr.. Farmer regained
his reason but his limbs were paralyzed so
that he was unable to move.
The horse finally kicked him out of reach,
and he lay from to 6 o'clock P. M. in that
sad and helpless condition. His cries for
help were heard by the neighbors and by his
folks at home, near which the accident hap
pened.
They all thought it was some one calling
sheep and no notice was taken of it until dark
when his son went to see what was the mat
ter and found his father almost exhausted
fiom his accident and exposure. His doctor
gives but little hope of his recovery.

Special to the Kennebec Journal.
PORTLAND, Sept. 6.
Considerable interest is felt here over the
verv strange and apparently unaccouDtable
sinking of ship in almost calm weather,
which has just been reported by Captain
Hodgdon of the Mary E. Oliver.
He says that he sighted a schooner of
about fits tons when within a few miles of
Bangs Island. The schooner was not a
great distance from the shore, when sudden
ly. without any warning. it keeled over upon
its side and sank. Capt. Hodgdon thinks
none of the crew were saved, and that the
sinking of the vessel was probably caused by
the explosion of some substance on board
which carried away her side, as it could not
have been more than two minutes after she
began to keel over before she went down

A PETTY QUARREL.
Senator Malone Sues RiddIeberger for
$500.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.
A Woodstock, Virginia, despatch says that
the suit of Senator Malone against Senator
Riddeberger for the recovery of $500 was
tried in the circuit court yesterday.
Malone claims that the money was loaned
Riddleberger personally, and the latter testi-
fed that every statement made by Malone
was untrue. Riddleberger admitted having
received money from Malone in 1879, but
not in 1881, aud what was given him went to
pay election expenses. He did not get the
benefit of the money.
'It went to candidates." he said, Z" or if
the truth were known, or were it possible to
prove"
Here an objection was made, and the Sen
ator broke off.
A letter was handed Riddleberger which he
read and acknowledged as his. 1t was dated
July Is, 1881, addressed to Malone, and ac-
knowledged the receipt of draft, stating
further that he (Riddleberger) had devoted
much of the previous day to applying it.
Another suit will be brought by Malone for
the recovery of $1,000 alleged to have been
loaned to Riddleberger.
